An Artistic Soirée of Support
Benefiting Friends of Children’s Hospital
An Evening With Friends brings together art, community, and generosity in support of Children’s of Mississippi, the state’s only children’s hospital. Guests will enjoy a curated art auction featuring regional artists, along with an evening of hospitality and connection as we celebrate the donors, sponsors, artists, and friends who make this work possible.
Proceeds from An Evening With Friends benefit Friends of Children’s Hospital and help fund programs, services, and resources that elevate the healthcare experience for children and families across Mississippi. From moments of comfort and normalcy to support that helps meet the unique needs of pediatric patients, your generosity helps make the hospital experience a little brighter for the children we serve.

We hope you’ll join us for a meaningful evening in support of brighter futures for Mississippi’s children.
